To submit a report by the Chief Executive.

It was RESOLVED :-

·           To endorse the preferred regional governance model of a statutory joint committee for further development;

·           To invite the newly elected Council to enter into a statutory Joint Committee model with the five partner councils, within the first three months of the new Council term, once a detailed constitution and inter-authority is available.

The report of the Chief Executive relating to the Growth Vision and Strategy for the Economy of North Wales was presented to the Executive for consideration.

The Leader of the Council said that the growth vision sets out a clear strategic ambition for North Wales for infrastructure development, skills and employment, and business growth.  North Wales has been formally invited to develop the strategy into a ‘Growth Bid’ for national investment and the conferment of powers to the region by the UK and Welsh Governments.  Work is ongoing to prioritise the content of the strategy for inclusion in a formal bid.  The six councils have reached an outline agreement on a governance model for the regional economic strategy. 

The Executive expressed that it is important to collaborate and support the Growth Vision and Strategy for the Economy of North Wales.
